Teal Pressed Glass Covered Dish

This item is a pressed glass covered candy dish or butter dish, characterized by its vibrant teal to deep blue-green color. It features a square base with slightly beveled corners, transitioning into a slightly domed lid. The lid is extensively decorated with a raised, intricate pattern resembling foliage, possibly grape leaves or a similar botanical motif, interspersed with textured areas that might represent grape clusters. This detailed ornamentation covers the majority of the lid's surface, showcasing good craftsmanship through crisp molding. At the center of the lid is a prominent, square finial, also made of glass, serving as a handle. The finial itself is faceted on top, adding to its visual appeal. The item appears to be in very good condition, supporting the 'real good shape' context provided, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant abrasions visible on its primary surfaces. There is a small white mark or scuff visible near one of the bottom corners of the lid, but this appears minor and does not detract significantly from the overall integrity. The glass exhibits a uniform color saturation, suggesting quality production. The style points towards mass-produced glassware common from the early to mid-20th century, likely between the 1930s and 1960s, a period when colored pressed glass was very popular.
